Ill be going this year, I always intend to every year but this year I will really be there
im buying my badge in a few weeks so I wont have a chance to back out later.
dont know what day, ill be buying a 3 day badge and probably only go the day the Madoka VA panel is.

I have been going since 07 when (D&L) aka *BORN* was there they were my first J-Rock band seeing LIVE! I have been a Fan of PMX ever since! They throw an Awesome Con every single Year! so yep 6th Straight year for me! This year i might even be Staffing!

PMX is A LOT smaller than AX, yes. The size is about on par with Anime Los Angeles.

I might go, but I'm not sure yet. I don't really have much incentive right now, so it'll partially depend on what guests are announced over the next few months. I'm no longer staffing it because I needed to reallocate my time for college. (When I think about it, if I end up not going this year, it'll be the first PMX I -haven't- been to since the con started...)

I'm not sure, but it'd be nice to go. Does anybody know if they have any cosplay contests?

Yes, they have a masquerade. The top few awards come with cash prizes. There's also likely to be swag of some type for winners, stuff like figurines, manga, T-shirts, free con badges (to PMX or to other cons), etc.

As a Pacific-Asian media event, the PMX masquerade is much more inclusive than the typical anime con. In addition to the typical "anime and Japanese video games" costumes, people sometimes enter with stuff like J-rock costumes, original themed lolita outfits, K-pop, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and so on.
